Live Music
Every day that the fields are open, they will have live music from 5:30 p.m. until sunset. Performing on Aug. 1 will be a local duo Matt and Michelle featuring Andy. Singer/guitarist Matt Nobile and harmony singer Michelle Marmo (who will be joined by Andy Tokash on bass) are just hoping to bring some fun to your evening by playing songs that you know and love and that you can sing along with. You’ll hear pop, rock, folk, oldies, and country. Acoustic music with a beat, not too loud. Be sure to check the schedule, as they will be adding new performers. A portion of the proceeds from purchases made during the event will be donated to Sparrows Nest Organization.
